Estimate vs Consensus

Estimate vs Consensus Our revenue and EBITDA estimates of $20.2bn/S$9.9bn are slightly above the Street at $19.9bn/S9.8bn. Our model assumes currency to be a 2% headwind on y/y international revenue in 1Q17 (similar to 4Q16) and a 3% headwind in 2Q17. Our 1Q17 non-GAAP EPS of $9.53 is slightly above consensus at $9.45, and on a GAAP basis, our 1Q estimate for $7.26 is slightly below the Street at $7.42. For 2017, we are above on revenue, EBITDA, and non-GAAP EPS, but slightly below on GAAP EPS.

We are comfortable with our $1,025 price objective, based on 21x core Google GAAP EPS plus cash. Our PO multiple is within the five year range of 12-24x forward P/E. Easing comps and potential new ad format ramps (Google’s advertiser conference is May 23) could be positive 2H drivers.
